Officials told WDSU News that a private party took place at the site a short time before the fire.

Louisiana Fire Marshal Butch Browning says he is not labeling the fire as arson right now but says there are some suspicious circumstances surrounding what happened. Additional investigators are looking into the fire. K-9's were also used to detect whether or not any sort of accelerant was used.

Browning is also asking for anyone in the area during the time of the fire who may have noticed suspicious activity to call his office. Browning said his office had already begun conducting interviews as part of the investigation Monday.

Multiple units from the St. Tammany Fire Department were called to the scene about 11 p.m.

Crews reported that the situation was under control shortly before midnight. No injuries were reported.

It had also gone under water in previous storms, but owners said they hoped to repair the damage and open a new restaurant at the location.
